Fleming Island relay kickoff set for Nov. 5

The Relay For Life of Fleming Island is planning a kickoff party next month for its part in the American Cancer Society's annual signature fundraiser.

Relay For Life, which will be in April, is an 18-hour campout and carnival to raise money for cancer patient services, awareness, education, advocacy and research, according to a news release.

Teams of 10 to 15 people will set up camp on the Fleming Island High School football field and take turns walking or running around the track, playing games, listening to live entertainment and holding on-site fundraisers, according to the release.

At the kickoff, organizers will recruit new teams, register survivors and provide details about the event and services offered by the American Cancer Society.

Also, they will announce this year's event theme and offer an incentive for teams that pay their registration fee at the kickoff, according to the release.

In addition, there will be free food, music, door prizes and a mock campsite.
